What is required for an application to be considered complete in the licensing process?

A duly made application is essential for the licensing process as it indicates that the applicant has fulfilled all the necessary requirements stipulated by the North Carolina State Hearing Aid Dealers and Fitters Board. This completeness ensures that all pertinent information, documentation, and fees are properly submitted for consideration. A duly made application serves as a valid indication that the applicant is serious about complying with the regulations governing the profession, thus facilitating an efficient review process by the board.

Having just a partial application or an application fee alone would not suffice, as these do not meet the comprehensive criteria needed for licensing. A partial submission may lack important information that could influence the approval or denial of the application. Similarly, submitting only the application fee without the accompanying documentation and information would not provide a complete picture needed for the board to make a well-informed decision. Therefore, a duly made application is the cornerstone of initiating the licensing process effectively.
